An elderly Black couple was found dead inside their Fort Lauderdale home two months ago. Since then, there have been no tips on who was behind the killing and even less information from the police on the progress of their investigation.
Kim Melvin Hill and Tonya Mitchell sat before a bank of TV cameras on Wednesday, mystified as to why anyone would kill their octogenarian parents, Major and Claudette Melvin, inside their Fort Lauderdale home on March 22 and, it appears, only steal their 10-year-old Ford. “This maggot,” Mitchell said of the killer. The case has drawn major attention in South Florida and the Fort Lauderdale police have issued a nationwide alert for the couple's red 2014 Ford Focus, Florida license plate LTDQ16.
